PHO Webinar - From Assessment to Intervention - A resource guide to applying NCAST-PCI
The Healthy Babies Healthy Children (HBHC) program is offered by public health units across Ontario as a requirement of the Ontario Public Health Standards (June 2021). A primary goal of the program is to support children’s healthy growth and development. This evidence-informed home visitation program includes the use of specific assessment tools such as the NCAST Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) scales. This webinar will introduce an NCAST resource guide, developed in Ontario to support public health nurses in making decisions about “next steps” or interventions to offer to a family, following completion of the PCI Scales. This resource reviews how nurses and/or family visitors can provide constructive feedback to caregivers, or select interventions and applicable Partners in Parenting Education (PIPE) activities.
